The UNP has not fulfilled the task of the Opposition, says K. D. Lalkantha, Chairman of the National Trade Union Center.

He made this comment while addressing the 6th national convention of the All Island Banking Employees Union in Colombo yesterday.

“Why are they not holding elections for the Anuradhapura Municipal Council. Is it because of the cricket match. Where are they playing the matches. There is no impact whatsoever.

“It is clear that if the Municipal Council elections are held, the government will lose. This is because a lot of pressure is being exerted on the urban community in the face of the sky rocketing cost of living and gas prices.

“When the country is facing so much of problems at present, has the UNP as the opposition carried out any suitable programme? The answer is no,” said Lalkantha.

This man Lalkantha represents JVP leftist anrchist views which changes with the social climate. He supported LTTE when it suited the JVP for survival. He is now fishing in troubled waters.

Is he totally ignorant that when the rich imperial West nations are struggling with economic depression and huge budget deficits, massive rise in cost of living which are unbearable, rise in unemployemt, cuts in public services such as education, healthcare, social services like in the aftermath of WW2, SL stands upright with less economic depression because of the correct policies of current GOSL? Petrol prices went up because world crude oil price has risen. It affects the whole world. Petrol price in Britain for example is Rs 224/- per litre. However, petrol costs less in SL because of concessionary rate of crude oil for us from Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq due to correct policy of friendship with these countries.

It is easy for people like Lalkantha to talk like a ‘diye inna mediya’ (frog in the well) because he does not share the hardships of governing the nation. Heavy lays the head that bears the crown. I suggest Lalkantha live in Europe for six months to experience real hardships with no job, very high cost of living and struggle to survive.

“Commenting on the then LTTE leader in the Batticaloa area Vinayagamurthy Muralitharan, now a Deputy Minister in the ruling UPFA coalition, Seneviratne emphasised the government, particularly President Mahinda Rajapaksa, should be wary of having an opportunist like Muralitharan aka Karuna. Recalling the circumstances which led Karuna to switch allegiance after being summoned to Kilinochchi in March 2004 by LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, Seneviratne urged President Rajapaksa to be cautious. The likes of Karuna could be dangerous, he stressed.”

The tamils are a threat to the security of our nation; we cannot get far by using force to eliminating this threat. A diplomatic approach based on intellectual power is the best way forward. The first step is to recognise the existence of fundamental tamil nationalism. The scond step is to recognise the existence of a second nation. The third step is to find a home for the second nation.

By following this path, we will be able to protect our citizenry from the eternal threat posed by opportunistic tamil leaders and harmony preaching sleepers.

Karuna Amman, alias Muralitharan, did yeoman service to the GOSL by giving invaluable intelligence to the defence forces. His cadres even fought alongside our troops to liberate our Tamil SL citizens held hostage and as a human shield in the final War of Liberation. The LTTE was totally decimated with its entire leadership. It is therefore right we honour Karuna along with other heroes, grant him amnesty, along with the former LTTE cadres who had been conscripted, following their rehabilitation.

The real threat to peace and harmony in SL are the Sinhala kotiyas like RW, CBK, JJ, RK, MS, KJ, SF and the JVP. They along with other 5th columnists should all be found guilty and hung in public in Bogambara. Then we have finally got rid of our enemies. The other enemies and saboteurs are the Vikings, the British and yankee USA. The Vikings at least should be made to pay billions of dollars in compensation for aiding and abetting LTTE terrorism in SL through 30 years of destruction and wanton killings of our people. Norway should then be kicked out of our country.

Guru, please stop your vulgar talk of “testicles filled with gunpowder Tamil sleepers” and “Tamil lasses with C4 laden bras”. You bring shame on the good name of majority peaceful Sinhlese and on holy Buddhism with your intolerance and deeply ingrained racial hatred against our Tamil SL citizens. Shame on you! Don’t paint all the Tamils with the same tar brush!Majority Tamils are peace loving and contribute to the development of SL.

I ask Hon President to hold a population census urgently. It is more than 20 years since the last census. Many Tamils have left our shores, more than the Sinhalese and the Muslims. Isn’t it time that we know the true population sizes in the different provinces in the whole island? Such a census should be a genuine census free of Tamil political interference. Guru, as you said, many Tamil as well as Sinhala and Muslim traitors have crept into the reigning UPFA, for political and temporal gains. Hon President should be wary of them. Perhaps he is going by the adage, “Keep you friends close but your enemies closer”.

On the 1st of Jan, a white van load of unidentifiable tamil speaking persons arrived at the temporary sheltering of over 200 families in the outskirts of the Nandi Kadal lagoon, and set our temporary residences alight.

As a result, the community lost the tin sheet shelters they had, including all meagre belongings.

Subsequently, we have moved to an IDP camp; there are no tents available here; some of us are sharing shelters with others whilst the remaining are living under tree clusters.

I lost my bicycle in the fire; now I have to walk 18 miles to the place where I have access to the web.

In the coming weeks, my blogs will become less and less and one day I may dissapear into the thin mists of Kilinochchi.

DC, stop pretending to be an IDP in an IDP camp. I bet you are a diaspora LTTE in UK enjoying an easy life on state welfare benfits. You have all the time in the world to weave false stories to mislead the On Lanka readers. You are taking On Lanka readers to be fools to believe your sob-stories. We are not fooled by your disinformation and lies. Your lies are akin to the ‘white flag’ story. So stop lying and get a life! If you stop your blogging who cares? GROBR.
